The idea is to easily create a cmd window, that the path is setup in order to point to portably python by default. At a first glance at Portable Python it seemed to me, that this doesn't exist. Having a small icon to click at, that opens a cmd window with the right setup or just a .bat file, that could be called to adapt the setup of an existing cmd window. It's not too difficult to write such scipts, but I though it would be interesting to see whether I'm the only one missing such feature in portable Python.
